Another quiet Hsebuke OF nn EEnor-
ane Critic.

Harper's Weekly.
This remarkable statement OF Judge
Smiths denouncing the civil service
laws1 Is an illustration Of the loose and
inaccurate manner in which public ques-
tions are discussed when they ure treated
with prejudice and upon hesrsay. II
there be an abuse which the most emf
nent statesmen OF ali parties In the coun-
try, beginning with Webster, Calhoun,
and CLAY, and including In our own time
Edmunds. Bayard, and Hoar, have de-
pounced, it is that of which Judge Smith
makes himself indirectly the champion.
Reform of notorious evil in ADMINISTERS
ton Judge Smith holds to be conceived
Of selfshnese, born of cowardiee, nonr-
ished by fear" The reform law, never
theless, was passed by the overwhelming
vote OF both parties in Congress- and the
testimony of those Who have been chiefly
concerned in its practical operation Is
unanimous In favor OF the excellence OF
its results Moreover, It's most violent
opponents, who describe it IN the spi,it
ana in the language of Judge Smith, are
those whose control of the government
and predominance in politics are most
earnestly to be opposed by lovers Of
honest government and decent politics.
Civil service reform is not merely the
observance of certain rules of examinn-
ZION. IL Is the correction OF corruption
in politics, and the restoration OF politi-
cal parties TO their true function, which
il the maintenance and enforcement of
| national policies These results can be
attained, OF course, only by certain de-
| tails of method. But it is as foolish TO
| say that civil service reform consists OF
certsin competitive literary examinations

Yon ask for rules OF society;
The following were given to me,
Alas though they sound pretty simple,
/ fall In each one OF the three.
The fret Is the shortest, but hardest:
Forget yourself--dress, looks and all,
Not Wishing you're stouter or thinner.
Less dark, or less fair, or less tall;
Forget, though your dress may be shabby
Forget, too, the go Of your hairi
Forgetting, In short, all about you,
Remember all else who are there.
Rule two Is: Think always OF others,
And when you are thinking be sure
To try and discover their best points.
Don'tdwell on the faults they should cure
II only you look and endeavor
You always may find something good;
The most disagreeable Is never
Zoo utterly horrid and rude.
Remember this one has had troublei
The other one may have feeble health;
THIS man has been soured by poverty,
Another no loss 80 by wealth.
| These two are but just the exceptions,
For out OF the people you meet
| You'll Ind only one who Is sour
| Iu proportion to ten who are sweet.
| Think always the best things about them,
IL will not be hard If you try
And then you can always say truly;
SIN this thing he's better than l."
The third rule is: Make them ali happy.
4 lltph htohAtu W c00 WIN 40 Apit Nbt
Cheer up the Rhy girl In the corner,
Amnae the old man with the govt;
i Take care of that paie-looking lady,
And mind that she's not In the draft;
But don't let her see what you're doing,
II needs be, with love mix some craft.
Talk politics now to the statesman,
Converse with another on trade,
Talk of home and friends to the lonely boy
And OF flowers and woods to the maid.
II ever you talk Of people,
Remember the rule says "All,"
Aud you must not be entertaining one
At the cost OF another's fall.
It's your mission to make all happy,
And never to drop speech
That could carry sorrow to any heart
Wherever your words might reach.
After all, it's the Bible maxim
That puts II shortest and best
"Be kind, be courteous, be full OF love-
You may safely leave the rest.

Death of Her For whom s.BOme

A special to the New York World from
Atlanta, dated May 18th, says: Miss
Mary Harden, the iancee of John Howard
Payne and the lady for whom he wrote
his Home, Sweet Home" died in Athens
last night and was buried there to-day.
Il is said that the original "uome, Sweet
Home" was buried with her, as il was in
terlined with love declarations from
Payne which the lady did not wish to
have fall under the eyes of the public.
She had been offered large sums for the
manuscript, but always declined TO part
with il. Miss Harden passed her 18th
year on her last birthday.
Probably not half dozen persons out
side of Athens knew that the quiet little
house in Hancock avenue held this re-
markable lady, and many resident OF
Athens even had lost sight of her. Gen.
Harden of Savannah, was her father.
While girl she was reared in French
family and she learned the language
thoroughly. In the use Of the rapier she
became proficient, practising regularly.
She spent several years in Europe, com.
pleting her education in Paris. While
still young her father was appointed
